LBI-39175A

ADDITIONAL TOOLS REQUIRED

RF Power Attenuator (30 dB, 150 watt, for transmitters with RF power beyond the capabilities of a Service Monitor)

Digital Voltmeter

Oscilloscope (optional)

 

 

TRANSMITTER

 

 

 

 

SYMPTOM

 

 

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

 

 

 

No RF power output.

a.

Program a Conventional System with frequencies given in Tables 2 and 3.

 

 

Use "EDACS3" PC Programming utility.

 

b.

Check the RF Power Tracking Data, using "MRKMAINT" PC

 

 

Programming utility. The Data should be the same as that shipped with the

 

 

radio from the factory. I it has failed, re-enter the Tracking Data using the

 

 

procedure set forth in the "TRACKING DATA" section.

 

c.

Check TP1 on the Power Amplifier PWB for A+. If it has failed, check the

 

 

power cable fuse.

 

d.

Key the radio and measure the DC voltage at TP4 (9 VDC typical, when

 

 

keyed). If it has failed, trace TXENABLE signal back to Logic PWB.

 

e.

Unscrew the PA module from the rest of the radio unit. Remove P1 from

 

 

J151, and connect an RF wattmeter to J151. Be sure to AC couple J151 to

 

 

the wattmeter. Key the radio and measure the exciter power at J151.

 

 

Power should be 400-700 mW. If it has failed, replace the Synthesizer

 

 

PWB, and reload the Modulation Tracking Data. If this passes, replace the

 

 

PA PWB.

 

 

 

 

Frequency too low/high.

Adjust XU201 on

the Synthesizer PWB. If the frequency is still out of

 

specification, replace the Synthesizer PWB.

 

 

 

Low or no modulation.

a.

Program a Conventional System with frequencies given in Tables 2 and 3.

 

 

Use "EDACS3" PC Programming utility.

 

b.

Check the Modulation Tracking Data, using "MRKMAINT" PC

 

 

Programming utility. Data should be the same as that shipped with the radio

 

 

from the factory. If this has failed, re-enter the Tracking Data using the

 

 

procedure set forth in the "TRACKING DATA" section.

 

c.

Apply a 1000 mVRMS, 1 kHz audio signal to the MIC connector Pin 1

 

 

(Pin 2 is ground reference). Key the radio (make sure the antenna

 

 

connector is connected to the proper 50 ohm load). Check for an audio

 

 

signal at TP202 on the Synthesizer PWB. If this has failed, replace the

 

 

Logic PWB. Be sure to perform the complete re-programming on the new

 

 

Logic PWB,

If this passes, replace the Synthesizer PWB, and re-load the

 

 

Modulation Tracking Data.
